Training results/Change in status.

My muscles hurt... A lot.

Over the last 2 hours, I've been doing rigorous training. Seeing an infant Molag/Deathclaw doing various exercises was probably a strange sight to my mother.

I did everything I could think of. Sit-ups, Squats, Push-ups, Curls, Vertical Jumps, Long Jumps, and even Endurance Training. My tail got in the way a lot but I wrapped it around my waist and somehow managed. Of course, before that I made sure to stretch. I wanna be as nimble and flexible as possible..... I even did some tail training. Which was just me striking my tail against the rock walls of the cave over and over again. I lost a few HP doing that one.

Besides that my health pool didn't decrease and neither was I tired. This was because I always waited for my stamina to go back up to full. Even so, although I wasn't tired, my muscles were screaming in pain. It started with a dull ache about an hour or so back and slowly turned into full-on pain about 20 minutes ago. While that's not necessarily a bad thing. It definitely was not comfortable. Even so, It shows that my muscles are tearing. So for another 20 minutes I persisted, But before long I felt like I could not go on any longer because of the pain I felt.

As I finished my last lap around the nest I felt my knees give out and I fell face-first into the dirt.

Well, I would have fallen face-first into the dirt, if not for the giant white hand that grabbed my tiny body.

I struggled to lift my head when I heard the same ringing I've grown used to over the last few weeks.

'Thank you, Mother.'

She stared at me with worry I think.

'Young play too hard. Too much.'

'Are you worried about me mother?'

It seems mother confused my exercising with playing. That's not bad though. On the contrary, It's actually good. Because I don't think I could find a way to explain exercising to my mother. Not yet at least.

'Mmmh, Young tired. Rest now.'

Following that, she gently positioned me next to her in our nest.

I wanted to continue with my exercise, but I knew better than anyone, my body wouldn't be able to move for a while. I was tired. Not physically of course but mentally my exhaustion was high.

With a bit of difficulty, I laid against my mother's side….. And when I did…... Without waiting any longer I summoned up my Information page. Quickly the interface appeared in front of my eyes.

'Well, that's different.'

A smile danced across my face when I read what was in front of me….. My Hp and Mp really went up. It was a success. There was an addition sign near them. Usually that meant extra information…. Without missing a beat I clicked onto the plus sign at the end of the HP bar. 

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

HP/Health Points. +.5 HP regen every minute.

-You have gone through multiple rigorous exercises. HP permanently increases by ten.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Biting the claw on my left thumb I read through the explanation.

A serious yet satisfied look soon spread across my face. 

'It seems my earlier idea about exercising was correct. What's more, The improvement came so quickly in such a short amount of time.'

'I didn't think I would see results until at least a month or two had passed. But instead, It only took me 3 hours of hard training. I could probably abuse this.'

Well, let's think about that later. For now, let's see what's changed with my stamina.'

I backed out and then this time I clicked the plus sign at the end of the stamina bar.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

SP/Stamina Points. +5 SP regen every minute.

-You have gone through multiple rigorous exercises. SP permanently increases by ten. Rest for a day to recuperate.

-You have pushed your body to its limit. SP permanently increases by 5. Rest for a day to recuperate

-You have pushed your body past its limits. SP permanently increases by 5. For the next 3 days, Stamina capacity is halved.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

'I see, While exercising did increase my stamina as it did for my HP, it also isn't good to exercise too much or there will be bad side-effects. If I stopped exercising earlier, I may have gotten 5 less SP, but I would have been able to train after resting for a single day. On the other hand, now that I've pushed myself too much I have to wait 3 days before beginning again. I'm actually losing more points in the long run.'

Day 1 is meant for training, day 2 for recuperation, day 3 for training, day 4, resting, and day 5 training. I would gain 15 points on every training day. That's 45 points throughout the course of 5 days. But If I were to keep pushing myself like I did just now. I would get 20 points in a single day and would then be forced to rest for 3 days before exercising again, and when I did, I would only gain another 20 points. So 40 points in 5 days. That's 5 points less in the same amount of time than if I were to just train and acquire 15 points every other day.

'Then it's best that I just train in moderation.'

Though, There's a chance that the more often I do this the less stats I may potentially gain. I'll think about that later though. As for the MP stat. I have no idea. MP obviously stands for magic. But how do I even use magic? The MP bar is there so I should be able to use it right? I already tried but nothing happened. 

Releasing a sigh, I laid back.

'For now, let's look at the other things that have appeared.'

*Lick*

Just as I was about to look at the other changes on my information page. A giant slimy wet tongue slid across the side of my face.

I immediately formed a Mind Link with my mother.

"Mother...….?'

She paused for a moment and just stared at me…

'.....Dirty.....Clean'

'We should wait a bit. It's hard to think.'

'No…..Dirty. I will clean.... Now.'

'But Moth-'

*Lick*

I felt the connection between us cut off as she licked me again.

Giving up, I tried to ignore it.

I'm not sure about other Deathclaw tongues. Well, they are probably snake-like. But both mine and my mother's tongues are very long.

'Well, at least her sentences are starting to sound more and more understandable.'

I grumbled a bit, then brought my attention back to my information page.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Skills: Scratch[1], Bite[1], Glare[1], Hiss[1], Tail whip[1]

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I read the info as my eyes slightly widened.

'A new skill appeared. Tailwhip? It must be because I spent a long time striking the stone wall with my tail.'

Ignoring the tongue licking my left arm I began thinking about the implication of this new skill.

'So this means I can gain skills through certain actions. What are the limitations of this? If I try digging will I get a skill? If I build a house would I get a skill related to architecture? Or would something like that become a job? Possibly both? Can any action I do generate a skill? So many new questions.'

'Well, that was an interesting discovery. When I leave this place I'll look into it. No, Why wait? I can attempt to try that digging idea right here near the nest. Admittedly, it's going to have to wait until my body recuperates. Sounds like a plan.'

*Lick*

'Well, it doesn't look like anything else has changed. I guess for now I'll just enjoy my bath then.... Wait a minute... What's This?'

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

State: Slightly Premature.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I sat up.

'My state has improved?.... Before it was Hatched/Premature. But now it's changed to Slightly Premature.'

Without my permission, my tail started swishing back and forth.

'This means. I won't have to worry about growing with negative side effects. That's wonderful. For a while, I believed there was a chance I'd be cursed to live with a stunted body for the rest of my reincarnated life. 

'Fantastic!'

With relief, I yelled out inside my head and raised my fist into the air.

'Ouch, Dammit… I forgot my muscles are still sore.'

*Lick*

'Yes Yes Mother, I'm done now and can fully enjoy your bath.'
